Donahue is now plugging the independent line, "Bulldog Pride," a new party formed as a result of the caucus. He's lived in South Glens Falls his entire life and has been trustee for 10 years and mayor for the last four.

"I want to continue on the path I started," said Donahue. Records show that Donahue has not raised taxes in his four years in the mayoral seat. Donahue said his emphasis is stable taxes and running a "nice lean budget." He said his focus is balancing the community's budget in a conservative manner.

Donahue first rose to the mayoral seat in 2009, when Bob Phinney stepped down. Donahue ran unopposed that year.

Orlow, 61, is seeking his first public office. He's lived in the village for 32 years and runs a property maintenance business with 16 workers.

His campaign is focusing on the people and continuing the legacy of former mayor Bob Phinney, which Orlow believes has not been continued. Orlow says the village needs to apply for more grants and needs to concentrate on improving some homes and sidewalks.
